WTF no more Cenex 94 octane cheater pump gas?

I went to the Auburn Cenex today for some 94 to mix with my E100 and it was effin gone! Everyone else probably already knows but it's news to me... I haven't been there for over a year since running E but for the past 15+ years we've been getting gas there! The classic 89/91/94 octane selections are gone. Now its just like everything else 87/89/92

The chick inside said the pumps switched a while ago. I also forgot to bring some home to test; who knows maybe it's still E15+. I've also yet to confirm the other stations (Black Diamond, Olympia, etc) Anyway, long rest the Cenex 94 I guess

^something similar happened to me @ Mountlake Terrace a couple years back. There was a Chevron that carried 93 at the pump that I would drive to on my way home once a week or so. Then *poof* back to the standard.

Same thing happened to Cenex on Pacific Ave right off Hwy 512 in S. Tacoma. Used to go there all the time, then poof, gone.

Dirty - looks like CHS took it off all their pumps then I was always worried about it too! Getting a custom tuned 94 octane map then only to have the gas disappear.

why would you poison your e100 with 94 anyway?

Hehe no, I'm pretty sure I'm the only person running it besides the ER guys in their personal/race cars. E70/85 will start fine obviously, just no gas in the E98/100 to fire it up.

gotcha, we don't have e anything here. I'd like to try some e100 to see if there's anything I can do in the tune to help it start though.
